As expected the three new NES games for December have been added to the Nintendo Switch Online app – and it’s been updated to Version 2.0.0.

This month’s games are Ninja Gaiden, Wario’s Woods, and Adventures of Lolo. There’s also a little surprise with a Dr. Mario and Metroid getting an ‘SP’ version which some changes.

Dr. Mario SP

Uncover the ultimate truth after beating the game!

In this special version of Dr. Mario, you’re dropped in just before a rare scene that occurs only after clearing the game on level 20 at Hi speed. This game has been played and loved by many people since its release, but who knows how few have seen this! Fun fact: in the 2005 Nintendo DS game Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day, this game was called Germ Buster. This wasn’t necessarily for training your brain, but it seems to have a relaxing effect on it either way!

Metroid SP

Defeat your archenemy, Ridley!

In this version of Metroid, you start at the battle against Ridley! Our hero, Samus, has all her equipment, including the Ice Beam upgrade for her weapon – and she’s ready to face down her nemesis! Ridley is now known for being a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game for Nintendo Switch console, but in this game, Ridley was described as the original life-form of the planet Zebes, controlled by Mother Brain.

Despite being updated to Version 2.0.0, we’re not actually sure what has been changed in the app. This is also the last of the NES games that were announced to be released, what we get in 2019 remains a mystery for now.
